psychology students from rizal technological university dropped by my clinic for a quick chitchat on my work as a psychotherapist.

Dynehgre Casasola, Sheryl Cayaco, Charmaine Garcia, 

Rona Mae Hiponia, Janine Lagrama, and Joyce Ann Pabello

if i were to go back in time and redo my training as a psychotherapist, i would most definitely make ericksonian hypnotherapy the foundation of my training.  

let me introduce to you four great psychotherapists who have significantly influenced the way i practice psychotherapy today:

dr. milton erickson- 

psychiatrist and medical hypnotherapist.  

from dr. milton erickson, i learned 
not to just talk to people, but to communicate 
with people's subconscious minds.  

dr. fritz perls- 

psychiatrist and founder of gestalt therapy

from dr. fritz perls, i learned to help people let go of their emotional baggage, so they can truly and fully live in the 'here and now.'

dr. irwin yalom- 

psychiatrist and pioneer of existential psychotherapy.

from dr. irwin yalom, i learned to help people find 

deep personal meaning to their 
fleeting earthly existence.  

dr. alexander lowen- 

psychiatrist and pioneer of bioenergetic analysis.

and from dr. alexander lowen, i learned 
to help people experience an integration of 
body, mind, emotions, and soul.  

to all budding psychotherapists,

make drs. erickson and perls,

drs. yalom and lowen

your friends.

soak yourselves in their teachings

and be inspired by them.

wear their minds

as you facilitate

deep, lasting, and positive change

in the people you help.
